Trivia:
The love scene between Tom Cruise and Kelly McGillis was filmed after initial test screenings. Moviegoers complained that there was no love scene, so the company obliged. McGillis, however, had already dyed her hair darker for her next film. This is why the scene is tinted blue. Also noticeable as a subsequent shoot due to the longer length of Tom Cruise's hair (particularly in front). moreGoofs:
Continuity: Iceman suddenly appears next to Wolfman in the locker. moreSoundtrack:
Destination Unknown moreFAQ
Which motorcycle does Tom Cruise ride in the movie?Why aren't more F14's launched for the final dog-fight against the Migs at the end of the film? It seems a little silly to only send up two with Maverick in reserve.

Most of the comments about this movie are more unbelievable than the picture itself. Some are saying it's the greatest movie which is far from true. On the other side are the cinema snobs who won't let themselves enjoy this motion picture. This movie may require much more "suspension of disbelief " than most but the fact that many are still enjoying it says plenty about its entertainment value.
